Rap/Hiphop

[kivik]

Doubt many of you are into this. But anyways, just thought I'd share this song. I've just never ever heard anything with such a 'pure' message. I find it incredible, this is what rap should be about.

he's always overdramatizing everything.

 

[Azurus]

He's by far the best rapper out there still making records, saw him in Roskilde a couple years ago was awesome.

Don't...really know what you mean by "pure"?

It's a bit, off-my-taste in rhyming and style, it's a fair enough story, but as a story, a bit "boring" to tell as it's so spesific. Half the time you just want to click x and get it over with. Mainly 'cause i prefer other styles.

RAP should be about rhytm associated poetry, the rest is taste.

Is this more Seel like music?

So hard to explain what I meant with "pure" message, just couldn't find a better word. Hope this line gets to you an idea: "Hold the person that you love closely if they're next to you. The one you love, not the person that'll simply have sex with you. Appreciate them to the fullest extent, and then beyond. 'Cause you never really know what you got, until it's gone". You really don't see much songs with those lyrics.

Also a part of this thread was to share songs so go ahead and share your taste (rap/hiphop songs, obviously)

This as well. Oh wait you said rap?! OH SHI-

Aye, more towards yes, i like DMX. I'm maybe more towards the cleart cut, stay in form and not so much towards the "free flow" rhyming.

But i'm also like that in poetry, clear rhymes work for me better.

Yeah i got that part and thought that you meant it. Wasn't sure. It's a nice message, and yes, should be "main-lined" more songs with this kind of message. Maybe it was that it took so dang long to get to the message, which kinda put me off the track. And the style, naturally, but that's taste and nothing to argue 'bout.

Have to see if i can find a "similar" from the ones i like. Though for me most story and message ones come from other sources.

[Lamp]

Oh jesus, not rap & hip hop

 

[Chronictank]

Oh jesus, not rap & hip hop

I would say remove all safety signs and let natural selection take place,
but you dont read evidently so it wont make a difference

 

[megadave]

Oh jesus, not rap & hip hop

oh jesus, not rap & hip hop in a thread titled rap/hiphop ?!?!

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Rap and hip-hop to me pretty much ended with '******' and 'cap in their ass'.

One half of Run DMC got shot because he was outspoken about guns in rap... its just non-stop bullshit now.

 

[Olgaline]

atmosphere is the best of that particular lot imo,

this guy is preaty neat too. and good humor in his vids
and go figure, a rednek white boy rapping

Bubba Sparxxx has always been a good one, one of my favorites too when you just want to listen to something good and not need to focus.

But Bubbas got that Timabland bonus *grin*
